Theus bench Martin for a portion in the first half, and did a horrible job using Salmons and Garcia off the bench. These are the only 3 players who even show any kind of effort in the first 2 weeks, and to use them like this is an absolute joke...

As I said...keep the Salmons/Martin/Garcia lineup that was so effective and move Artest to the 4 spot and rotate him out with Moore and keep Miller/Moore/Hawes rotating at 5.

I hope they try it next game... I could see why they didn't want Artest guarding Al Jefferson tonight though. Beno Udrih played 39 minutes last night, Garcia only had 15 and Salmons 27, getting shafted by a guy that just joined the team is bull****.

I agree with that.

I think Artest could be at his best playing PF, just like Marion is. He could use his strength and post moves to be an unstoppable post force. We all know he is at his best near the hoop. Playing PF would keep him from taking up the ball and launching up too many jumpers.
